a large part goes right through mountains in a tunnel it took 16 grueling years to cut through the eiger and the mention at the beginning of the 20th century finishes hard to not miss and it still amazes me even today that got that look at how the entire tunnel is natural there's no cement it's all rock star you can see the drill holes. there where the sticks of dynamite want placed that in wollongong. after half an hour we arrive at the young for your. europe's highest train station located at 3454 meters inside the mountain. view for railway has been taking visitors to the top since $912.00. beyond being europe's highest train station it also has the best view.

a 1st count i look for extraordinary projects here in franconia of area for us to use in our goal my restaurant alexander hamilton. europe all spoilt will sometimes travel several 100 kilometers a day to scout we 1st followed him to visit sebastian solomon who breed sturgeon's and produces caviar. a little bit but it would be what possible it was tasting a very special version of this delicacy whites to golden caviar from albino sturgeon's. for the food scout was impressed. stars at 3 euros per gram albino caviar is about 3 times as expensive as black caviar. at the end it's pretty rare which is why i'm very happy it works so well by sebastian's and or and it means we can offer these regional caviar in

a restaurant and that's very special to. us. next the food scott went to sebastian leader miles found embalm back in southern germany it wasn't a restful visit to the pair dug up one metre long roots from the soil trying not to damage them and i've got lots of juice in them and the more you damage them the more juice comes out that's a sign of quality and if i want to follow that and hold them out but i rip them then i need to stop from the beginning again a little but the only extraordinary specialities worth this much work what the 2 men are after are licorice roots these are usually found in west asia and are used for making licorice. but how does licorice root fit into gourmet cooking your asphalt brought his freshly secured treasures to the restaurant to head chef to be expats for tasting and quality assessment 1st the albino caviar. but.

it doesn't have much flavor yet because it's so fresh. both agree that the sturgeon roast still needs to develop its full flavor so should be left a few more days. next the food scout and head chef brainstorm ideas for including licorice on their menu. for this series holds its i can see the licorice featuring in some type of dessert this time maybe combined with chocolate and fruit. and that's exactly how it was served licorice and chocolate were combined in a black truffle which was finally shaved onto a plum sorbet. the team in the gourmet restaurant has already won 2 michelin stars. there is also a find a star kitchen which serves carefully composed dishes. of scouts and finds ingredients for both bistro and restaurant. exotic fruits tend to lose

a lot of flavor on long haul flights so the food scout gets them locally at cline eden palm house and. a fruit safari for star cuisine woman i'll be there on an answer but today the hunch is for spice it's a bar and it's the way we've called it a levy and while chilean down there is a type of china each a little there's a tie to the you know your cost fault isn't only here for the chili's he's also after there leaves. at 1st the head chef is baffled. this is all floods when the greens are often just cut off without some mistake here with a chilly foliage it makes sense to keep them with. well you say you again saw something no one else word here is the good and the leaves ships hippies

trips to vegas and i see all those by sea to be chipped truly chipped the leaves are tossed in tempera batter and then deep fried in hot oil. next to the expats coats the green chips with a fiery chili paste. and is it surprising that it gets out of a spicy bit sensational you really come up with something special here. caviar from the albino sturgeon licorice fruits from a farm in bam back and spicy chips made from chili leaves. and with that food scout your cost filed heads off on a new journey there's still a lot more to discover. designing and building churches has probably always been one of the most challenging faiths in architecture she won't fully is

from france and he's a devoted churchgoer of those not so much because he's religious he visits them as a traveling photographer and he's always on the lookout for new subjects. for me it's the for me the architecture and the power of this modern architecture through the 20th century. they always have a central point of view and that the churches are always empty. so my goal is really just to create a sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. like notre dame to try in paris it's original it's different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with

the difference of materials with you know the wood the steel the lighting is very very interesting and in presenting the. you know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. and yeah you see in this one what's really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions it's always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other they're all very different but you get a cohesive. feeling of you know all the different churches.

to portray lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years ago since then he's photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. the most difficult part is finding them. because. when you start the series basically you start from 0 and there is a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding all the all the churches in the remote spaces so you would maybe never passed by and you would actually not imagine what this is like maybe offices but not really. maybe a museum. this is not for a dime to large to learn young a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris what the church is can very very radically and i think be reinterpreted what a church is. with the architecture because the. church is

fairly basic and it's huge you know there's. a central park that's always there and then basically people sit around it. goes approach is always the. same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes a single shot. that's it. at home he makes only minor corrections to the image most of the work is already done to mow is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby get his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. like his project sleeping venice from 2018 he was able to capture almost surreal looking images of the city on the venetian lagoon. venice without the matting crowds. since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world

this photo series is his most famous work to date. it's a specific space that everybody understand you know libraries are churches everybody's been there at least once in their lives. and they were made for a specific reason and so what i really find interesting how these architects have you know created. you know these different buildings but with the say the same purpose. one of 4 years favorite churches is notre dame did i sell it in paris he feels that the round concrete structure emanates a sense of tranquility. i guess i'm a pretty cocky guy i mean i like it when i'm alone in these spaces because you actually get to experience the architecture in

a very different way you know. it's just for it seems like it's been built just for you when you're there and you can witness it for however you perceive it. and in the photos people can imagine themselves in in the picture. people poor his photo series sacred spaces a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture. if you're visiting the netherlands in the next 2 weeks you may also want to stop by the city saval that's where europe's biggest ice sculpture festival is taking place until the 1st of much artists from around the world cost $500.00 tons of ice and snow into beautiful scotus which takes us on a journey through time. from dinosaurs to cleopatra. to the vikings.

and the industrial revolution this year's ice sculpture festival in the dutch town of let's face it does travel through time people flock to the festival from all over to marvel at the statues which are made of around 550 tons of snow and ice. bundled up against the cold they take photos of the sculptures and enjoy the magical atmosphere. cover of a very pretty one coming from the tropics and to see these on their day the roof i'm having this ice sculpture a solution magnificent i do think it was possible yeah calderon's to take photographs. you don't like not to give them up it's amazing if it's a big goal because if. i'm here for a 1st time i'm shooting. pictures. of some 40 ice

carvers from all over the world descended on smaller they spent 2 weeks carving the sculptures out of ice and snow here spend more of its from germany is working on a statue of shaka zulu one of the most influential zulu monarchs. if you know. to make the details is a good enjoyable part because if you do everything right you see everything grows together is. striving for artistic perfection is not the only challenge the compas face the temperature inside the hole is about minus 10 degrees celsius so it's hard to stay warm the blocks of ice are up to 2 metres tall and it's a tough job to sculpt them using sharp chisels and chainsaws. it's hard to go work at the end of the day everybody people get their shoulders their arms lock the chain and there are certain amount of danger to go right that. one of my friends drive your driver injured you've broken down. most of the carvers are professional

artists they travel the world to sculpt ice and snow but they also work as traditional stone sculptures graffiti artists. the ice sculpture festival is always a highlight of the year. this is more of a fun thing to do come in the urban and work you know in a big scale like you don't get to do this kind of thing normally so quickly. once the carvers hard work is completed visitors can enjoy the giant works of art complemented by colorful lights and atmospheric music. this year's theme a journey through time allows visitors to see important historical figures and witness paper doll moments in history i'll close. just like previous years we're always looking for

a theme that's familiar all around the world for all ages and with all these stories throughout the time it's a perfect fit. your hands might get cold but the dodge ice sculpture festival is definitely a heartwarming event. just about everyone knows fear iliza the piece is one of german composer lutie from beatle from smoke famous and this year marks the $250.00 anniversary of his this to celebrate we ask you to play it for us and we've already received a lot of entreaty. so please send us your version until january 31st you can use any instrument you
